Utah's 62 points is its most since scoring 70 points against Weber State in 2013. It is the most the Utes have scored in a Pac-12 game since joining the conference. The win also marked Utah's first victory in a Pac-12 opener. Utah is 4-0 for the first time since 2010.
Very proud of the way our team prepared and executed in this big Pac12 win at Autzen. Go Utes! #UteProud

Caleb Repp had his first career catches, both which went for touchdowns of nine and 16 yards.

Utah punted on its first drive of the game before scoring on its next five drives. The Utes led 6-0 early after a pair of Phillips field goals.
Oregon's first touchdown of the game was set up by a 77-yard kickoff return at the end of the first quarter, tying the game at 6-6 after the Ducks failed on the two-point conversion.
A pair of touchdown passes from Wilson in the second quarter put Utah up 20-6, with Covey catching a 26-yard touchdown pass and Scott making a catch for a 7-yard score.
An Oregon touchdown with 4:08 left in the second quarter put the Ducks within a touchdown, 20-13, before the Utes scored 42-straight points to take control of the game. Repp caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from Wilson with a minute remaining in the second quarter, giving Utah a 27-13 halftime lead.
It was all Utah in the third quarter, scoring four touchdowns to take a 55-13 lead. The Utes pulled out all the stops, as running back Booker threw a touchdown pass to Covey, punter Hackett corralled a bad snap to rush for 33 yards for a first down and the Utes put together a diversion play on a punt return which allowed Hobbs to run 69 yards for a touchdown. Utah was helped by interceptions on defense from Marcus Williams and Hatfield.
Kendal Thompson scored on a six-yard run in the fourth quarter after an Oregon turnover to close out the scoring for Utah. The Ducks added a touchdown with 3:58 remaining in the game.
Utah has a bye this weekend before returning to Salt Lake against California on Oct. 10.
